Last round, situation on table looks like this:

...

9. Hamburg 84 pts

10. Ingosltadt 80 pts

11. Krefeld 79 pts

12. Augsburg 67 pts

...

Only team that can threaten Ingolstadt 10th place is Krefeld who will play against Mannheim away. It isn't likely that Penguins will win that one, but we have saying here "It's better to prevent it, then to heal it", in this particular case - Ingolstadt should better win then to feel sorry afterwards. Only regular time win grants them place in Play-off, all other is calculations. There are few factors that should go in favor of home win:

- Frankfurt without a motivation, 4th for sure, coach said that they will try to avoid injuries and he will rest some players

- bad Frankfurt's form in last games, especially away

- H2H which reads W10-D0-L1 on Ingolstadt's ice in last five seasons

Minus for this pick is Ingolstadt bad form in recent meetings, but that doesn't go for their home games which they won mainly. Alternative for this bet would be over as DEL is "over" league by default and both teams are pretty efficient (three goals per match usually) and their mutual games usually end with many goals. I will probably play it in double with something
